Return Freshers Party organised by AIIMSonians2K15 batch for our respected immediate seniors AIIMSonians2K14 on 16 Jan 2016. AIIMS has been consistently ranked the top medical college in India to pursue any Medical degree by India Today in annual surveys starting in 1997 and was ranked No. 1 in 2015. AIIMS' excellence has to do with several factors – small class size, excellent library facilities, liberal clinically oriented teaching, research exposure and the ability to set its own curriculum. Several surveys by The Week and Outlook magazines have named AIIMS the best hospital in India overall, as well as the best in several individual fields such as Cardiology, Neurology, Gastroenterology, Gynaecology and Ophthalmology, ahead of several specialised institutions. The hospital has been able to maintain high standards of quality while seeing large numbers of patients (3.5 million in 2006) at very low cost to patients (₹10 (15¢ US)), many of whom live in extreme poverty. Every year AIIMS accepts 72 Indian students, of which 37 belong to general category, 19 belong to Other Backward Classes (OBC), 11 belong to Scheduled Castes (S.C.) and 5 belong to Scheduled Tribes (S.T.) based on the results of an all-India entrance examination for its undergraduate M.B.B.S program. The number of students who take the entrance exam every year varies from 80,000 to 200,000. The acceptance rate for admission to the undergraduate course (medical school) is thus 72/150000 i.e. 0.048%. Maximum 5 international students(nominated by Government of India from SAARC nations) complete the class size of 77. AIIMS is one of the few institutions where the faculty-student ratio is much better than the norm.
